Are there any unique, weird or downright crazy facts (or stories) about your childhood? Post them here!

 

 

 

Anyways, here are mine:

 

 

 

1. A long time ago, my mother once turned off the TV after she got mad at me for doing something bad. I don't remember what I did, but it seriously pissed her off. I then followed the wires and looked into the electrical outlet, thinking it was where the television images came from.

 

 

 

2. I used to think the darkness of night was caused by clouds!

 

 

 

3. In my early elementary school years, my teachers joked about having special powers, specifically telekinesis and the ability to teleport things. I actually believed them!

 

 

 

4. I went on my first "hunger strike" when I was a month old. Our family doctor had recommended that I be fed from a bottle, but I would only drink my mother's milk. I did not want that stupid infant formula! The doctor suggested that I be starved until I accepted the infant formula, but I still did not relent. After four days, my mother finally gave in! I would probably have died had I gone on any longer!

 

 

 

5. I took on the role of Robin Hood during Easter egg hunts. I used to steal eggs from other people and give them to the children who arrived too late! Of course, that made quite a few people mad!

 

 

 

6. I used to live in Sunnyvale, California, many years ago. I once did something bad and my mother told me to walk home from the nearby Ponderosa Park by myself. Having been to Ponderosa Park many times, I was overconfident and ended up getting lost! Fortunately, I finally found my way home just a few minutes before my parents were going to call the police. This incident scared my parents so much that they promised never to do it again! Remember that this was way before cell phones and GPS devices!

1. I used to be terrified of elecricity, I used to be sure it would jump through the socket and get me. I also used to be terrified of the light, I had to have my light switch replaced because I said that I saw a bolt of light go from it to the light on the ceiling :|

 

 

 

2. I remember making a pie chart of reasons why my parents argued in a diary I used to have.

 

 

 

3. I was (and still am) a very untidy person. My mum and grandma found maggots under my bed when they cleaned my room once.

 

 

 

Can't think of any more atm but I'll try :)

I one time added mustard to my nesquick powder... I kept using the powder.

 

 

 

I loved megaman

 

 

 

I had surgery in my thumb because I could not erect my thumbs.

Time for a revival of this thread?

They're a bit different. Something like having surgery on your thumb isn't a belief.

 

 

 

1. I was either shy or I was the class clown in school.

 

2. I promised I'd never do drugs.

 

3. I was obsessed with Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and Zelda.

 

4. My first few favorite musicians were Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Korn, and Eminem.

 

5. I was an Honor Roll Student most of my life.

I started sport fishing when i was 5 (i still do it), when i was 12 i caught my finest fish ever - 1.2kg pearch. Spent well over 1000 on fishing equipment over the years.

 

A couple of years ago, 2 years ago i think, i was down with my lil sis and mom to visit my older sis and her family. Me and my older sisters guy went fishing for a few hours, and i managed to snag a lure and lost it. Then half an hour later, snag again! Then i was so pissed off (because the first lure i bought when i was 13 or so), so i swam out about 10-15m into the lake, dived down (with the fishing rod in one hand) and hooked off the lure from a log. I got a free beer from sis boyfriend lol.

 

 

 

I started using snus (swedish tobacco product, still using...) when i was 14, which is quite ironic, because my mom works in the cancer-department at the hospital.

 

 

 

When i was 15 i accidently got my fingers into a broken light-bulb and got a nice shock. My left arm was numb for a half day lol.

 

 

 

I trained Aikido from 9 til 15, and made a brief "comeback" when i was 16. I will pick it up again before i'm 30, but now i got no time... I have to finish studies before end of the year so i can apply for university.

 

 

 

I've always been a big fan of fighter-air planes. I've read many books and written about it in school (to the point where teachers have asked me to pick another subject lol). I also like building and painting plastic-model planes (i want to try a big battle cruiser sometime), i probably got 40+ of them, mostly from age 10-15, but built a few since too.

 

 

 

Also collecting Pringels cans since i was 9-10, i got about 70-85, some from other countries (and no, i haven't eaten them all myself... Friends and family has given me empty ones).

When I was 8 a pedophile tryed to abduct me while I was on the sideline of a Gaa pitch watching my dad play a

match (native Irish sport).

 

 

 

As I was only 8 and easily tempted by the option of 'candy' I followed the man towards his car in the nearby carpark, my dad ran off the pitch during the match and about 100 yards across the park, when he caught up with the guy he cracked the guy over the head with his hurl (pretty much the bat used in Hurling) He knocked the guy out when he hit him over the head. led me over to the subs bench, told his teammate to keep an eye on me, ran back onto to the pitch and scored a goal within 20 seconds. My dads friend who was videotaping the match caught the whole thing on camera, funniest homevideo I've seen. An 'only in Ireland' type moment.

1. I used to believe that the only music that existed was the music that played on TV/Radio. When I heard something other than mainstream, it was mindblowing. (sort of like "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? :shock: ")

 

 

 

2. My parents put me in a cage thing made out of styrofoam and I chewed my way through it.

 

 

 

3. I almost drowned.

 

 

 

4. I remember being really jealous when my sister caught a fish and I didn't get anything. -.-

 

 

 

5. I used to think that my birthday used to change every year, I remember looking at a McDonalds calendar (Olympics themed so must've been around 3 years old) and asking my mum,

 

"When is my birthday this year?"

 

"November the 4th."

 

"What about next year?"

 

"November the 4th."

 

"?!?!?!??!?!??!!?"

 

 

 

6. I never got to trick or treat and stayed home watching alien movies which I think have semi-scarred me. I hate those aliens from Mars Attack. :|

 

 

 

kranked, my sister was also almost abducted in a museum, but she screamed her head off and my mum asked, "WTF ARE YOU DOING WITH MY BABY". The woman couldn't have claimed it as her own baby because she was white. :o

When I was about 4 or 5 my brother and I went to this babysitter and there were about a dozen other kids that went there, one of which lived just two houses down so if she ever forgot something at home she could just go get it. Well I got tired of her being able to go home when I couldn't, so one day I just started walking home (which was about a mile and a half away). I made it a little over a quarter mile before I saw my babbysitter's husband driving down the rode, so I quick jumped in the ditch thinking he wouldn't see me...landed me in timeout the rest of the day. :(

 

 

 

Then a couple weeks later my dad dropped me off at the same babysitter's, but this time it was a school day so just me and not my brother, and my mom had forgotten to tell him that she was on vacation. He dropped me off and was already driving away before I realized the door was locked, and having been told that I am to never leave her place on my own again I stayed there, locked outside, for 8 hours. :wall:

 

 

 

Lastly, when I was about 9 I was tagging along with my brother and a neighbor while they fed another neighbor's horses since they were away. Everything was going fine and then as we finish up and head out, I walked behind one of the horses and got a nice kick in the back. It knocked the wind out of me for a little while, then as I regained my breath I sprinted home bawling and ran inside yelling to my mom that I broke my back - she just laughed and told me to sit down while she got some ice (apparently nurses know that if you break your back you can't run). After a little while you could see the hoof print about an inch away from my spine, so my lower back muscle took the full force of the kick meaning it was only a bruise thankfully.

 

 

 

Oh, one more...2 black eyes in the same day for the same reason. It was probably when I was 4 and us kids were out playing golf in the front yard, I walk behind my brother as he's swinging and get smacked in the eye. It hurt so the usual happened, run inside crying to mommy, she makes it feel better, then back outside to play again. Smack! Walked behind my sister this time...raccoon transformation complete.

So the point of asking if she was black when nothing in her post suggested that was what?

Because the only logical reason that the woman couldn't have claimed it as her own baby because she was white, was if the baby was black of course.

I really don't see how I could've made it any more sarcastic without putting tags on it or without making it look like a 2 year old wrote it.
